RECORD VOTES ON
By DAVID
WASHINGTON, D. C Nov. 7. The
true state of affairs with respect
to a vote on the peace treaty can now
be revealed Both Republicans and
Democrats claim they are ready to re
spond to the demand of the country
Jor a final vote this month but every
effort to bring about an agreement
to set a date for the vote has tailed
because, as a matter of fact, the spirit
of compromise has not yet been recog
nized as absolutely necessary by the
extremists who think they can yet
defeat the whole treaty.
Briefly, the Republican management
offered to set a date on which the
t-eaty could be "finally disposed of."
Bv tnat they meant final jsction on
t.e ratifying resolution which con
tains the reservations proposed by the
senate fore'n relations committee.
The Democrats objected to the use of

Senator Hitchcock said the president
showed keen interest throughout the
conference and expressed Bis judg

The senator outlined the plan to
be followed in consideration of the
committee reservations and the presi

we have achieved so far." the -senator
said, "and expressed the hope
